Cannot insert image

[Anonymous]

When using the AutoCAD Web App, I cannot insert my image. It is a png. I can attach it as a XREF, however it doesn't appear on the screen. When typing in the INSERT command, it brings me to blocks. However, I cannot insert my file as a block. I need this image and to be able to overlay more.

Hello,

Currently AutoCAD web does not support the IMAGE or IMAGEATTACH commands. If an existing DWG has an image already attached it will resolve and display in the DWG. Only 4 image types are currently supported: BMP, PNG, GIF, JPG.

Best regards,

Hello @Anonymous 

Could the information provided by @mwn  help you and answer your question?

Currently using XREF is the way forward.

I just tested with two of the image formats mentioned by @mwn (BMP, PNG, GIF, JPG) and they worked for me. I suggest that they are inserted with a small height/width - I experienced the same on my side. When I checked I noticed that they are inserted with a unit value of 1 for width:

Please try the steps again and zoom in at the location where you selected the insertion point of your image. I suggest that you will find them.

Please select the whole image with a window selection and you will be able to adjust the size afterwards to the size you want.

JPG files should be attachable. There are two options how to insert/attach raster images in AutoCAD Web - see:
